Under his cell phone plan, Henry pays a flat cost of $63.50 per month and $5 per gigabyte. He wants to keep his bill at $77.50 per month. How many gigabytes of data can he use while staying within his budget?

2

Step-by-step explanation:

77.50 - 63.50 = 14

per gigabyte $5 + 5 =10

so answer is 2

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
